Lots of nice information from a quick Google search using "sway bar". If you just want to lower your vehicle you don't need to also purchase sway bars. They are a nice investment however as they reduce the body roll of your vehicle for hard cornering n such.

If you drive like a granny there is no point in purchasing but if you enjoy a bit of spirited driving or track your car they'd be a nice addition.

I have hotchkis myself and like them very much. Others swear by whiteline. I have heard bad reviews of stillen bars breaking. Not sure if they re-designed their bars.

I'm guessing you meant camber kit instead of sway bars? "Need" is the key question. LOTS on here discussing the camber after eibach and other springs as well. Definitely don't need, depending on your alignment guy you'll get close to specs at least. Whether that is good enough for you is the question...

You would not need sway bars as their roll in "lowering" your car is not really a factor. Sway bars are also known as anti-roll bars. In a nut shell they are going to hold your chassis tighter an eliminate the "sway" or "tilt" around turns.

What you should be referring to is a camber kit as mentioned above. As you drop the car further, you will naturally produce negative camber which is when your tires go like this / \. A little negative camber is not bad at all however too much effects your tire wear. A camber kit will help correct the problems as well as give you the adjustability depending on how low you go. Essentially you want you tires to be like this | |. We carry all the above mentioned parts so if you are interested and want information, please send us a PM or call us at (855)99-Turbo.
